Interstellar: The Official Movie Novelization Review: Paired With Kip Thorne's Book This is Great Reading - These descriptors listed above the comment field are pretty stupid for a novelization of a screenplay. Was it predictable? Well, I would say so BECAUSE I SAW THE MOVIE FIRST! A novelization is different from a novel in terms of movies. Movies *never* fully reproduce all the content of a novel. It is almost impossible to do so. So a screenplay is written to make the "inside the character's head" aspect strictly visual. And the sheer detail of most novels defies full reproduction in anything short of a ten hour movie. A novelization is a strict retelling of the screenplay. It is a novel of the actual movie, with very few elements that were not in the film. So, yeah, it was 100% predictable in that I saw the film first and it is word-for-word the same. With that in mind, I bought this because there were explanations and descriptions that did a better job helping me grasp what I had seen on the screen. There is a lot of density in this film, and a lot of details that most viewers will either not even notice or perhaps will not understand. The science behind the film is all within the realm of the possible, but some liberties had to be taken for the sake of the story. This book helps to clarify exactly what you see in the film. In that regard, it is excellent, despite my dislike of novelizations of films, which are usually very thin, intellectually. My wife really liked this film, but she does not follow science news like I do, so when we discussed the possibilities and the impossibilities of this story along with the general plausibility, I found that she did not know much about current ideas in this field - I had to pause playback repeatedly and answer her questions (about 50 times, total). Some of it I knew, and some I had no idea. This book helped clear up a lot of that for us both. At least now we fully understood what was supposed to be happening on screen. To bolster this we looked up several interviews with the scientist who was the chief advisor for the script. He was questioned (or lambasted) for his views so much that he wrote a book specifically about the science used in the movie and where, exactly, he had to bend rules to make the story work. It is surprisingly accurate with many fewer bent or broken rules than I had expected. Much more real than fantasy, I am glad to say. Though it *is* fiction and fantasy and not fact, there are lots of aspects that we know are possible. This book I purchased as a companion to this novelization, and the pair are an excellent combo to read. I highly recommend this novelization of the script by Greg Keyes as well as the *real* book by Kip Thorne, available through desertcart here: http://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/0393351378?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 If you get both you will be pleased. The two make great bookends to the film. Highly recommended! Review: Fantastic Book But Issue With Sentence Distance - This book is totally fascinating! If you're a fan of sci-fi then this is absolutely for you. The only the thing that threw me off was how close the sentences were. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #425,648 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,012 in TV, Movie & Game Tie-In Fiction #3,110 in Science Fiction Crime & Mystery #9,569 in Science Fiction Adventures | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,406) | | Dimensions | 4.13 x 0.75 x 6.83 inches | | Edition | Reissue | | ISBN-10 | 1783293691 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1783293698 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 288 pages | | Publication date | November 11, 2014 | | Publisher | Titan Books | ## Images ![Interstellar: The Official Movie Novelization - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sK-HeMjXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paired With Kip Thorne's Book This is Great Reading *by P***M on June 10, 2015* These descriptors listed above the comment field are pretty stupid for a novelization of a screenplay.

If you're a fan of sci-fi then this is absolutely for you. The only the thing that threw me off was how close the sentences were. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An enjoyable novel for the best science fiction movie to come out in a long time. *by P***Y on April 14, 2015* After watching Interstellar, I was very impressed with seeing true science fiction, not the over the top Hollywood explosions and action you see these days. It was an intellectually challenging masterpiece. However, I wanted to understand the story and science better, being that I am just a layman when it comes to things like relativity. So I decided to read the novel, and I enjoyed it very much. It is an easy read, mostly consisting of the script, which allows you to read the spoken lines and other content at your own pace. This makes it easier to digest the information and gain a deeper understanding of things that may be a bit difficult to grasp upon watching the film. I had originally expected longer paragraphs expanding on the science like you might read in an Isaac Asimov novel, but this book mostly contains the script, with a few added lines bringing it to life. I found that this approach made the book faithful to the movie and allowed you to read the spoken details and understand what is being said, which is really enough to make the book work. It's a quick read, a book which only took me four days to read in the little time I had between work shifts. I highly recommend it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/8711440-interstellar-the-official-movie-novelization](https://www.desertcart.at/products/8711440-interstellar-the-official-movie-novelization) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
